My coworker is going to vote for Trump because gas prices went up in the last 4 years.
I think you need to be intentionally naive, or just an absolute shitbag, to want to vote for lower gas prices at the cost of increased human suffering. Let alone whether it's something Trump could even deliver.
Also, consider what was going on 4 years ago: COVID. Gas prices went up because people are using their vehicles again , and because of that, oil isn't in the negatives and gas prices rise.
Same thing with inflation. People weren't buying as much crap during COVID. After that, corporations wanted some of that lost revenue so they raised prices and/or shrunk content. Then others followed suit due to need or greed. They all just went further than they needed too to up their profits.
Cough...Iraq war...cough
thats not why he's voting for trump
Well that’s the public reason they are voting for Trump.
The private reason is that they are a boot licking fascist.
i think it is the reason that their voting for trump, not because they're stupid, but because they have the entitlement to think that gas prices should be lower even though clearly they haven't dissolved in bankruptcy yet.
